I found a perfect place for a respite stay. I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. My mother was going on a two-week trip and we were looking for a place for me to stay. Five Star Senior Living in Clarks Summit was exactly what we needed. It provided independence for me and eased her mind. There was always help available if I needed it. The staff, including nurses, nurses' aides, housecleaning, front desk attendants, and dining room waiters and waitresses were friendly and kind. A Five Star driver even took me to my weekly Latin class. Five Star is ideally located. The setting is lovely and quiet, but it is convenient for friends who want to pick one up for lunch or a movie. I so enjoyed the two weeks that I spent in the lovely Respite Suite. I will be happy to stay at Five Star Senior Living in Clarks Summit again.

I live out of state and was concerned about my Mom loosing weight over the past year and not getting proper nutritional care and her anxiety about worrying about maintaining her home. We did a 2 week trial stay at CSSL and my Mom decided to try it for longer term. During the trial, I ate 3-4 meals with her and was very impressed with the selection and the quality and quantity of the meals. She has gained 5 pounds in the first 3 weeks which is great and she enjoys the food served there. The staff also seems very attentive to the clients needs when I visited often during the 2 week trial stay. I can return home and have peace of mind knowing that she is eating properly and being looked after well now.

My Mom has been at Clark’s Summit Senior Living for over 5 months, and has been treated fabulously. They know her name, treat her with respect, which tells you a lot of what a wonderful facility it is. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with a friendly face, there are so many names of quality people that work there. When I visit my Mom they could not be any nicer and I feel welcome. I am thankful for such a wonderful place for my Mom.

I have visited Clarks Summit Senior Living several times and have been privileged to bring my piano students there for recitals. It is a beautiful facility but, even more importantly, the staff is friendly and caring. I see them interacting with the residents in a positive and encouraging way. They are also kind to host my students and their families and do everything in their power to make us feel welcome. From what I have seen, it seems like a lovely place to live.

My mom lived at Clarks Summit Senior Living and I would highly recommend this facility! When she no longer live in her home, she moved in kicking and screaming! The staff, especially Sue Chapin, were compassionate and in a very short amount of time, she was happy and thriving. My mom spent a lot of time in the lobby, chatting with other residents and staff (Patty at the front desk is an incredible person). She participated in the activities and yet had her own apartment to call home. Mom passed away recently but I am fortunate that she lived here in her final months. Wonderful staff and beautiful building!

Now THIS is living! On my first visit to Clarks Summit Senior Living, I just knew I found the perfect place for my dad. You get the feeling you're walking into the lobby of a lovely hotel. Residents gather and mingle. Music is playing. People are smiling. There is activity. Residents are LIVING. Not simply existing and waiting to pass from this world. Four weeks ago, my dad made this his home. I haven't once regretted this decision. Neither has he. He's HAPPY. That's the most important thing. He made new friends and looks forward to gathering with them for meals and activities. CSSL let us decorate his room however we wanted and encouraged us to fill it with his personal furniture and belongings. His room is clean and cozy! He LOVES his new space! Housekeeping comes every day to tidy. His linens get changed every week. Help is only a buzz away. My dad is getting therapy there, too. Any concerns or questions I had were immediately addressed. The staff is phenomenal! They smile and are eager to please. It's wonderful to experience hospitality at its finest. I don't tend to write reviews but this experience has been exceptional. I can't thank CSSL enough. It's emotional for a loved one to give up their lifestyle and independence. However, CSSL made this transition as smooth as can be! My dad doesn't feel like a number here. He feels like a valuable member of a new family. To top it all off, my dad is thriving! He's physically and mentally improving from the sedate lifestyle he was leading at home. How can you put a value on that? Simple priceless!
